The death of my fellow friend, Gary Robert on last Tuesday (4th July 2009) was really shocking. It has taken the uni by surprised. See, everybody knows this guy. Always smiling, good-hearted fellow. Plus he really was dashing and very smart. Frequently being the subject of conversation of me and my gal pals. Who's Gary dating?, Why is he talking with that girl?, What will he thinks about this? , who was he talking on the fon with?, What he's doing? etc. . So the news was pretty shocking. The family and close friends of him take the news pretty badly. To hear that he died that way was really heart-broken.

Gary entered the Adidas King of Run (something like that) in Shah Alam. He collapsed after finishing the run. Then after he recover, someone saw him walked away. But after 24 hours, the family become worried and called the police because he did not return home. His body was recovered beside a dumpster under the stadium's basement, covered in bruises by police dogs. According to the police, COD was dehydration. Many suspected a foul play but only God knows.

Many people went to the house when the news was received to comfort the family. His parent seems not to believe that their son was gone according to my friend that visited the family.

For me, I see the glimpse of Gary everywhere in UNITEN. In class, at the food court, everywhere. I believe many people did. I just wonder how he can touched many heart in a short time and with a simple smile and conversation. Tsk.

In memory of a great friend,Rest in Peace Gary Leon Robert

Random: After this incident, I just wonder how it feels to die.My grandmother also passed away a week before that but that was too painful to talk about. So no post for her. Tsk

Last weekend ( 31 July 09 - 1 Aug 2009), ICE organized a Green Camp. I was one of the participant. Just wanted to see how the participant felt about this club and all. Lagipun, being the secretariat sucks. If I get to experience the camp in the easy way, why bother. =) At least that's what I thought.

Turn out the camp was pretty fun. Ok fun la. I just like the idea of preserving the environment. The camp was held at Taman Sri Cahaya Shah Alam. We stayed in chalets. Not bad =). Old kampung houses. Good condition but got a hell lot of monkeys.

The activities was fun. Apart from the 'art' project of making nature disasters models and doing interpretation about the nature and human fault that causes casualties, we cleaned up Klang river. It was at the estuary. First glance, not bad for Sg. Klang. Tapi, air yang tenang jangan disangka tiada buaya. ok no crocodile encountered but the river at was in pretty bad condition. The water stinks and rubbish were stuck in the mud. Apart from that, floating plastics bags and diapers were floating and got stuck in the floating boom (mechanism to trap rubbish, usually install in rivers).

Malaysian, espacially KL folks need to realize about this condition. For God sake, please do not dump your rubbish in the river. So sad.You wouldn't like it when people dump rubbish in your house is it? So respect the living things in the river. We have to start to realize our responsibility towards the environment. We like clean river for picnic kan. So let's preserve the rivers.

We were seperated into teams. I was in the tree planting team. We plant 20 trees on the dumpsite beside the river. Hopefully the trees will grows and conceal the dumpsite. There were teams that collect floating rubbish and there were another teams that planted trees at another different location.

Selangor government had gazzette 100 feets from the river and also the river. Means that any activities must be authorized by the government and Department of Drainage and Irrigation Selangor and any development on the river banks is prohibited unless authorized by the parties above. Hopefully this problem can be overcome. Please people, be responsible for your own garbage.

Haa. It's being a long time since my last post. This semester is getting crazier by the day.now my twisted soul just want to go far away from everyone, everything =(

My acquaintance just died. So sad since i had a really huge crush on him.Now the day is getting bleaker by the day *sob2*Just last week that i saw him talking on the phone and admire how handsome he is.Now he's gone.

speaking of dead people, my grandmother also passed away a few weeks ago.Die of old age. The sad part is that i've never saw her for the past 3 years.

I still cannot accept the passing of these people.So many people that i know died. It's their time alright but still, there's something awkward and annoying feeling inside me. duh -_-I wish that i could just be someone without emotion and cold.
